Abstract

Photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization (PODS) has received much attention due to low energy consumption and high efficiency, as well as simple and pollution-free operation. In this study, zinc oxide supported on titanium dioxide (ZnO/TiO2) catalysts were prepared via a simple electrochemical method. The presence of anatase phase TiO2 and wurtzite ZnO was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis while band gap energies were determined by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). The photocatalytic activity was tested for desulfurization of 100 mg/L dibenzothiophene (DBT). The highest desulfurization rate (2.20 × 10-3 mM/min) was achieved using 1 g/L of 10 wt% ZnO/TiO2 after 2 hr under UV irradiation.
